by a slide-plate, c2.

toit a rod, d2, surrounded by a spiral spring, `62,1'30 keep the slideplatc4 pressed forward.)l This plate c2 has attached to it at its under carr bloeit, 'the said sprin acting to retain the extractor pressed forward against the shoulders 5 ci' the receiver, the extractor being thereby prevented from droppin' g back into the cartridge-receiving space in the receiver. This extractor is shown in Fig. G in dotted lines in the position it will occupy when thebreech mechanism is closed, and in Fig. .5 in .fall lines in theposition it will occupy when the breech mechanism is fully open, the dotted lines in Fig. 3 showing' the position of the eX- tractor justbefore it was jerked into the i'nllline position to eject the cartridge-shell.

The cartridge-guide afl is pivoted to the re' ,ceiver at 6, and is acted-upon by a spring`- pressed bolt, b2, the bolt and pivot being so arnpon Vby 4the s}' ring-pressed bolt b2, canses an acceleration of the motion oi' the said guide. The guide a, having' descended quickly to its lowest position, rests jnst'belore the extractor acts io draw the shell, thereby avoiding all chance ci' suoli an interference in themove-,- ments of the'parts as would obstruct the speedy extraction of the cartridge-shell. I

vThe notches 15 in the guide prevent a shell or cartridgeresting thereon from slippingi'orward intothc open rear end of the barrel.

The carrier-block is grooved 'at 7 to obviate friction between it and Ithe hammer 7L after it has been brought to full-coca by the outward movement of .the said block.

lhc spring 8 of the partis of the firing-pin is only strong enough to heep the said part' pressed against part s. The magazine c is herein shcwn as located in the stock of the grin at the rear of the receiver, and it has the.

nsnal spring to act upon the follower g2, provided with ,an annular riin or projection, for purposes yhereinafter described.

lThe cartridges are inserted into the said magazine through an opening, ld, at the side of the receiver, the said opening;` being shaped as shown in Fig. 10, where it will be noticed thatthc said opening; is narrower at its front than at its rear end, so as to malte it impossible to ,insert a cartrit ge' except with its head in theproper direction. This opening is closed Shown as havin g attached side-ja spring, 12, the free end of which is bent ortnrned 'downward or inward, as shown in AFig. il, so that when the said slideplate .is moved backward the free end ci' the said spring, which then descends into a slot, 14, in the side of the magazine, will act against the magazine and force it backwarr ,thereby leavin g an unobstructed space for the insertion ot another cartridge into the opening which leads to the magazine.

The free 'end of the spring` is acted upon by a bridge-piece, 40, which permits the springt() descend and engage a cartridge as the slide- -plate is moved backward, and as the said plate is moved forward the bridge-piece liits the sprin g, so that its free end cannot obstruct the forward passage of the cartridges into position to be transferred by the carrier-block to the barrel to be iired, all asnsual.

When the rst cartridge is inserted into the magazine, the spring acts upon an annular 'flange or suitable projection, lf3, offtbe follower and pushes `the follower bach out of the Way of the cartridge.

The carrier-block in its ontward movement (see Fig. 3) acts upon and lifts the hammer-.li to full-cock, after which the lianixneris engaged and held by the sear havin the tri gger attached to and forming part of it, while the carrierbloclr is again returned into position between the side plates of the receiver, such movement ofthe said vbloclr being produced by the lever j, the bloclr then inserting'a cartridge into the barrel ready to be 'tired when the trigger is pulled. l
